Designed for mid to long-range use with exceptional low-light performance, the Hawke Sport Optics 3-12x56 Endurance 30 Riflescope boasts a partially-illuminated, modified German #4 (LR Dot) reticle with a stepless rheostat for absolute output control and optimal reticle brightness in all lighting conditions. The center of the reticle has a 1.25 MOA red illuminated dot for precise shot placement, while the etched, modified crosshair gives you precision hold-over/under aiming capabilities at distance. The scope's large 56mm objective and 16-layer anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics draws in copious amounts of light versus smaller objective scopes to provide you with bright and clear high-contrast images during the pre-dawn and post-dusk hours when many game animals are most active, as well as in heavily canopied areas. A fast-focus collar, zoom ring, and knurled rheostat control allow you to quickly adapt to rapidly changing situations. Complementing the performance of the scope is a lightweight and durable anodized aluminum housing, with a robust 30mm one-piece maintube to withstand repeated heavy recoils from magnum rounds that is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof.
